Mustafa Hamza (born 1956)[1] is an Egyptian commander of the military branch of the Islamic Group. He was sentenced to death in absentia by an Egyptian court in the Returnees from Afghanistan case. It is believed he took part in the 1981 assassination of Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat, the attempted assassination of President Hosni Mubarak in Addis Ababa in June 1995, and the Luxor massacre, which killed more than 60 tourists and Egyptians in 1997. He was in Iran until May 2004, when he was extradited to Egypt. He was pardoned in 2012.[2] In November 2017, Swiss TV reports that Mustafa Hamza is held in Tora Prison since three years. His advocate Adel Moawad expects him to be released in 2018 due to lack of evidence.[3] Also goes by the aliases Abu Hazem, Mohamed Gamal El-Sayed, Mohamed Gamal El-Sayed Ali Khalil.
